It's actually astonishing that it took mozilla folks the guts of 20 years to get around to this glaring UX gap.

Which bugzilla # is it. I can only find decades old requests for such a feature that are closed as WONTFIX.

This same conversation plays out every time someone mentions profile switching that is responded with "container tabs".

The switching UI/UX is atrocious.

This is insanely overdue.

When the hell will firefox have a decent profile manager?? It's the one thing that is preventing me from switching over. No, container tabs are NOT it.

The fact that GitHub don't provide a better solution here has to be actually costing them money with the network usage and extra agent time consumed. Right?

Plenty of marketplace actions will install things and/or mutate the runner. It's a matter of time before someone does something or there's a build that doesn't cleannup after itself (e.g. leaving test processes running) that ruins the day for everyone else.

I won't disagree. It should be easier imo. I guess this is why a cottage industry has sprung up addressing such e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39930908

Selh-hosted runners can be ephemeral too. With such either mount the cache as a disk or bake docker layers/images into the runner image.

The trick is to do these sort of engagements as a fixed price contract. You could have probably done an assessment in a hour or two. Then you charge on what you estimate is the value to the company.

If you are interested in having self-hosted auto scaling github actions runners but don't want to manage your own webhook handling infrastructure, https://cirun.io is worth a look.

How does one launch a profile from the about:profiles page? ;)
It's a concept that is first class supported and easy to use in all othe browsers. There is just a ton of usability issues across the board, even with the third party addon.

Am a firefox user since 0.9. I see there's a lot of love for Firefox in the responsonses here.
However, the profile UI and general managment experience compared to Chrome/Edge is pure trash. No, container tabs is not a viable substitute (my work and my personal profiles don't even share bookmarks). Yes am aware of a third party addon that requires additional software to be installed - this just proves the point further.

So today I'm using Firefox only for personal and chrome (/edge) profiles for everything else. Only reason I am sticking with Firefox is because of the Android version. If I could get ublock origin working on edge/chrome on android I'd probably abandon Firefox.
